Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin How to move to Canada from the U.S.—it’s a question many people started asking as soon as the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last week, with Google searches for the topic “how to move to Canada” spiking . The phrase “How to become a Canadian citizen” also spiked 550% in the hour after the decision came out. This isn’t the first time this has happened. During the 2016 election, so many American were looking into how to move out of the U.S. that the Canadian Citizenship and Immigration website crashed . Canada’s appeals are obvious: the nature, the livable cities , the publicly funded health care, the diversity, the lower crime rates. Also helping drive the recent interest: Abortion is legal in Canada. But there are downsides, too. Canada’s cost of living is higher than the U.S. The taxes not for the weak-willed: The more money you make, the more income tax you will pay. And it’s colder than much of the U.S. … [Read more...] about Escape From The U.S.: How To Move To Canada

- A + A (June 28): Sponge iron producers in India are raising concern fuel supply contracts won’t be renewed as the nation’s state-run coal miner continues to prioritise power plants in an effort to avoid blackouts. Supplies from Coal India Ltd for some producers are scheduled to end from August, which means the companies will be forced to rely on vastly more expensive imported fuel, said Anil Nachrani, the president of the Chhattisgarh Sponge Iron Manufacturers Association. The producers in Chhattisgarh have appealed to the state miner to renew their pacts and are seeking talks with Coal Minister Pralhad Joshi, according to Nachrani. Supply pacts for coal deliveries can be renewed if both parties agree, or instead awarded through an auction process that India’s government introduced in 2016 to boost transparency. Coal India plans to follow the policy to auction supply contracts, it said in a response to requests for comment. The company did not specify when any … [Read more...] about India’s rush to avoid blackouts leaving iron firms without coal

HONG KONG (Bloomberg): How does Hong Kong look to people born in the year of the handover - for whom the city has always been under Chinese sovereignty? Some feel their fate is tied to Hong Kong’s, while others feel like bystanders as Beijing tightens its grip. Many plan to leave sooner or later. We spoke to six 24- and 25-year-olds about the Hong Kong they grew up in, and the one they expect to exist in another 25 years. The returning professional "I feel helpless witnessing the changes that Hong Kong has been through,” said Keanne Lee. "At the same time, I want to keep a glimpse of hope alive that the city won’t lose its uniqueness.” Lee studied at a Hong Kong school where lessons are taught in English, then went to university in the UK. She returned to her home city after graduation, where she’s now a marketing executive for an e-commerce company. She has no plans to move abroad permanently in the near future. The growing pressure on school pupils to learn Mandarin is … [Read more...] about HK’s handover generation is caught in China’s whirlwind

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Songwriters are the heartbeat of Nashville and as the city continues to expand, so do the creatives and the way in which they make music. Prior to the 1990s, it was common for songwriters to write songs by themselves. Willie Nelson penned Patsy Cline’s timeless ballad “Crazy,” Bob McDill wrote Don Williams’ reflective “Good Ole Boys Like Me” while Tom T. Hall crafted Jeannie C. Riley’s memorable “Harper Valley P.T.A.” solo. The way a song is created today is drastically different than the early ’90s when thousands of songwriters flocked to Nashville where they could make a decent living by simply getting an album cut. Blair Daly moved to Nashville in the ’90s and saw early success with John Michael Montgomery (“How Was I to Know,” “Angel In My Eyes”) and more recently Kip Moore (“Beer Money, “Running For You”). Songwriting was more stripped down back then and there was much more co-writing amongst songwriters without artists … [Read more...] about Evolution Of The Nashville Songwriter: From Solo Writes To Songwriting Apps

- A + A BENGALURU (June 28): Gold prices were steady on Tuesday (June 28) as traders refused to commit in either direction in the absence of market-moving catalysts. Spot gold held its ground at US$1,824.51 (about RM8,027.84) per ounce as of 0246 GMT. US gold futures were flat at US$1,824.50. A move by Britain, the US, Japan and Canada to ban new imports of Russian gold is being seen as largely symbolic within the global bullion market as Russian exports to the West have already dried up. On Monday, gold was bumped higher in Asian trading by the news before quickly losing momentum to end the session lower. "The 'Russian gold ban' was the catalyst that never was. Russian assets have been a no-go since Russia's invasion, so the G7's (Group of Seven) confirmation of a gold ban was a non-event. And that leaves gold where it began the week — in the middle of a choppy range," City Index senior market analyst Matt Simpson said.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin As the terrifying words and shocking photos showing fierce fires destroying thousands of acres of land flooded social media, it was hard to not feel helpless. The over 50 mph winds assisted the fire in covering so much ground in such a short time that people who thought they were out of harm’s way would quickly realize within the same hour that they needed to evacuate as soon as possible. The direction of the wind changed constantly making it impossible for anyone within Napa Valley and Sonoma County to know if they were truly safe, as fleeing one’s home had many downsides since temporarily living in a crowded community center seemed to be a torturous alternative, or much worse, one could accidentally drive into the heart of one of the fast and furious fires, trapped with no way out. Many living outside of northern California stayed glued to the internet to see if friends or colleagues in the wine industry were doing okay. … [Read more...] about Woman From India Leads As Winemaker At Beloved Napa Winery To Build A Better Tomorrow After Tragedy
